Digital BW, The Print

I have been experimenting with QTR and find it very good for neutral 
B/W no metamerism.

I have a problem with uneven margins with a 12x18 image printed 
landscape on EEM 13x19. The top and bottom magins are equal and 1/2 
inch.

The left margin is 3/4 inch, the right is 1/4. 

The image is 12x18 at 300 dpi.

The bat file set paper to SuperB with no additionL MARGINS.

Any ideas on why margins are unequal?

Frank

Anyone have this problem besides me??

Hello Frank,

I ran into the same thing and got several responses from this 
newsgroup on how to correct it. None of them seemed to penetrate my 
thick skull very well, but somewhere someone mentioned that 
Photoshop reserved and added 1/8 inch on the side border; so when I 
calculate the margins I deduct 1/8 inch and using QTRGui by steven 
Billards, this is the result. 13-12=1 devided by 2 =.5 minus .125 
= .375. This is the number I put into the margins for the left and I 
still use .5 for the top. Somehow the top isn't affected by 
Photoshop because my resulting print of 7.5x10 on an 8.5x11 sheet of 
paper gives me .5 margins all around the printed image. I hope this 
helos you solve the margins problem. Within Photoshop I define the 
image size and need to calculate with the above method to determine 
the margin numbers to plug into QTRGui.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
